Minister of Public Security Sarath Weerasekera has assured that justice will be served over the murder of editor and journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge.
He expressed such views during a televised interview with a prominent international media network.
“Definitely, justice will be done and the culprits will be taken to books. If somebody has done a wrong thing as per Buddhist theory, it says that even if you were out at sea or in space or inside a cave, you cannot escape. I believe in this,” the Minister said.
Meanwhile, “The People’s Tribunal on the Murder of Journalists” located in The Hague, the Netherlands, launched its Tribunal today (2) to indict the Government of Sri Lanka for the assassination of Wickrematunge and its prolonged failure to bring his murderers to justice.
The Lasantha Wickrematunge murder case will be heard first, at which his daughter, Ahimsa Wickrematunge, who has been fighting to bring her father’s killers to justice, is also expected to testify. In a Tweet, she said that she was honoured to support the Tribunal.
